We Need Your Stories by Aug. 31!
We want the world to know the stories of pancreatic cancer survivors and their loved ones. Stories of strength and hope will highlight our efforts to change the course of this disease. If you know of personal stories from survivors, caregivers, researchers, advocates, volunteers or staff that you think the world should know, email them to info@worldpancreaticcancercoalition.com by August 31. Please submit 500 words or less, plus a photo if you have one. Tell us their name, location and if they're a survivor, caregiver, advocate, etc. Also tell us what WPCD or fighting pancreatic cancer means to them.

Important Note about
Social Media

However, if you are working on plans for your own social media push for WPCD and would like to have a conversation before the September training about how that can align with the 2017 campaign, please contact us at clara@worldpancreaticcancercoalition.com. |
